Re: Detailed D17 NA Build Research- COMMENT HERE!!!!
well on the subject of the FIC. i would think it should be able to handle it. im pretty sure people have used emanage with a stage 2 and got the car tuned and it worked but not as well as a standalone. so if they can get it to work with emanage and FIC is supposedly better then you should be good with a competent tuner.
As for an update for me im looking into getting my tranny swapped at the moment. trying to figure out if im going to have any reliability problems with it down the road and if i have to change anything on the title or with my insurance company. so after i get that figured out hopefully this spring i will get the tranny swapped. Im getting $950 back for my taxes so that should cover most my parts needed. I decided getting rid of the auto is the first big step in being able to build up anything on the car so thats where im at with that.
beyond that if you go to 7thgenhonda you can see where some of my interest is being placed right now. its in the forced induction section under remote mount turbo.... im not dead set on it yet but it seems to be something unique which is what i want. so we will see what is in store for the car by may-ish.

ronaldo9 was running an e-manage with the stage two he said something like it was working good till he put the cat delete on then it wanted to quit out every once in a while. I was having problems with my stage 2 the car would stall when I went full lock while parking and that was on the k-pro once it got tuned I haven't had any problems sometimes it dips a little but thats about it.

Yes, when I had the stock cat on, I didn't have stalling issues. I put on the HP header with the test pipe and everything ran leaner so I had to add fuel to the entire map. The car would stall on idle bc I think it did not have enough back pressure so I had to pull some fuel out at idle. This worked fine but I would get lean misfires and i was trying to get the car running so I wouldn't throw codes. So basically I let the car run a tad rich so I wouldn't throw codes and would just feather the gas all the time at lights so it wouldn't stall. PITA but I got used to it. Oscar (DJMOTA) had to do the same thing with VAFC2 before he got KPro. Oh ya after I put back on the stock cat to pass emissions the map became SUPER rich and it just seemed like the car was choking. If you want gains with the cam ditch the cat IMO.
